The Prisoner is basically like a Netflix B-movie brought to life through the pages of a book it’s certainly readable but you’re unlikely to come away feeling wholly satisfied. Unfortunately, it’s all downhill from there, as the story sputters in its middle chapters and eventually ends with a whimpering sigh at the end, becoming ever more ruinous and incredulous as time goes by. The Prisoner is a gripping, tense and claustrophobic thriller… at least for the first 100 or so pages. ![]()
